SYS 2015 - Tutorial 1, Foundation Paper Piecing

The pdf (link below) contains detailed step by step instructions on how to make Syndrome's block and how to assemble the pillow. Make sure to read the entire tutorial before start sewing because there are several tips and tricks that may help you along the way!
The tutorial also contains links to other resources for paper piecing and pointers for where to find more paper piecing patterns.

In order to be eligible for prizes, you are asked to make the main project (Syndrome block in this case). For additional entries, you can link others blocks made from the "other resources" links, but those must be finished objects, not just pieced blocks. Pillows, quilts, table runners, coasters, etc. Each type of additional object will count as one additional entries: so if you make 10 different coasters they will count as one entry for the prize.So basically:1. Syndrome block (one mandatory entry)2. Syndrome finished pillow/object (one optional entry)3. Any other finished object with a FPP blocks (one entry for each kind of object)If you need more details please leave your email address in the comment and I will try to explain it better! (you are a no-reply blogger :) )

It's not as hard as it looks! The step by step instructions should help you figure out most of the key steps! And remember that this is exactly the point of this series: to try out something that we thought we couldn't achieve and have fun stretching our skills ;)
